Abstract:
As the fourth part in a series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of
avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present a compilation of 1067
galaxies discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory
Sky Survey I (POSSI) red-sensitive prints. The region searched
comprises 500 square degrees, at 130°≤l≤180°,
-5°≤b≤+5°. In addition to galactic and equatorial
coordinates, we list maximum and minimum optical diameters derived
from both the red- and blue-sensitive prints and made cross checks
with the IRAS PSC catalogue. An asymmetric distribution of the
galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is found and is compared
to the locations of optically visible dust clouds and/or the
distribution of IR-emitting dust material. There is a pronounced
bridge of galaxies across the galactic plane at l≃160° which will
be discussed according to recent results on the extension of the
Pisces-Perseus supercluster.
